Haulvoc Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Why do you need opinions? French = Crap. Just kidding of course, I drive a Renault Megane Estate diesel in real life (mostly). I never tried the truck, but I agree with the comments about the weaker engines. I love hearing my DAF XF 105 roar while crawling up a hill.

Krutel Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I personally like Renaults. Blame Squirrel for all the Renault hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrax737 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 After some time since I last posted here, now I am planing to start my trucking career and trucks i would drive are, MB, Iveco, Daf and Renault Magnum, maybe Scania, but Scania has rly small cab so, RM or MB would be perfect, Iveco, Daf or Man arent bad too, so in real life I would probably pick one of this 4-5 trucks (not sure about Man), in game... well... i dont know what to say, I do like Magnum a lot but it is game so I cant stay on one truck for too long, but i always get back soon to Magnum or Iveco Hi-way.

MartyTheGamer Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 In my opinion the Magnum is one of those things that is so ugly it looks nice(ish). But not sure I like driving, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stickmaster62 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I would have to say the Magnum definitely looks unique to say the least, in game anyways. I can't say it's my favorite truck to drive in game because I've only driven it a handful of times in distances less than 200 km, and every time the rear wheels would slip at the slightest turns for me. As far as seeing one in real life, I never seen one because there are no Magnums in the U.S., let alone any European semi-trucks. https://www.worldoftrucks.com/en/online_profile.php?id=85051 <--World of Trucks Profile I play EU#1 on ETS2MP, North America on ATS I drive the speed limit, stop at red lights, ect. (Unless I'm bobtailing on the autobahn :P) I have thoughts about creating a truck club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dragon Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 The Magnum is ok. HOWEVER... The huge limitations in customization are a big damper. You can't even change the chassis! Though that's not really the issue for me. A neat combination of bull bars and the right paint job can give that truck a really cool appearance. But for me in particular, what really drives me away from this truck is the lack of GPS on the dashboard. Same deal with the Premium. I don't like using the Route Advisor (I hate unnecessary stuff on my screen. Not even the F2 mirrors). Some people should really get a license before even thinking about buying Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator.

stickmaster62 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 After seeing this post, I decided to give the Magnum another chance. Of course the difference between now and the last time I drove this truck is now I'm using a wheel instead of a keyboard. Anyways, 2500 km later I find this truck isn't too bad, and it looks pretty good in the Gulf Oil colors https://www.worldoftrucks.com/en/online_profile.php?id=85051 <--World of Trucks Profile I play EU#1 on ETS2MP, North America on ATS I drive the speed limit, stop at red lights, ect.

scania0920 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I personally like the way the Magnum looks and handles, but the sound of the engine is awaful, and you can say there are mods for that, but then I couldn't play multiplayer then.

paulstray51 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 good engines,i think in real life they have volvo engines in them,but dont like the looks of it i prefer the MAN to the Renult becasue MAN has a huge windscreen aswell SFH DRIVER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denos Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 One of my friends uses it. He told me it may not have the HP like Scania and Volvo but he said that thing hauled ass lol I drove it a little, wasn't bad, wasn't good either. Never drove it on a load so I might buy one and try it on a load and see how it does (ironic if the first load was 25T Dry Milk or something, put it to the test lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never drove it on a load so I might buy one and try it on a load and see how it does (ironic if the first load was 25T Dry Milk or something, put it to the test lol) I bought one a few days ago and I have been driving it ever since. Made about three deliveries with it so far. All three of 25 tons and I gotta say... although it sort of drags itself along the road with heavy loads (mostly uphills) it isn't that bad. It gets the job done, it has a very good visibility and the engine sounds nice. Again, like I said before, the Magnum is ok but the lack of GPS on the dash is the real issue for me. http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/529512439119000067/40998BB79B9F95DE814EA0F6CA41B0A7EEF3DA8D/ Some people should really get a license before even thinking about buying Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator.

FirestarteR93 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 To sum it up: its a cheap volvo(people who know a bit more about Renault Trucks know why exactly Volvo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denos Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Well I am going to try it and see how it does, I think I will be satisfied with the outcome Renault is really the only cheaper truck I am willing to try other than maybe a DAF EDIT: First load is 27.5 Tons, this will be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trucking Canadian Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I have 4 trucks right now. 1st was a E5 DAF, 2nd was a Renault Premium 3rd was my favorite because of the paint job (Metallic silver with a darker silver and it shined in the light) and my fourth is my company Scania Streamline (Stobart) But I have to say I drove every one of those trucks a minimum of 30,000km's+ Maybe once I get tierd of that Scania (Because I just joined Stobart yesterday) I'll ask Stuart about me buying a Magnum. Or I'll just buy the Mercedes when and if Stuart allows that as a company truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
